FAQs about MRc5 :

What is the purpose of the newly added Option 2? Can I pursue both options?

How do we account for materials using the new Option 2 equation?

With steel and aluminum products, why do I often get review comments questioning why my extraction distance is the same as my manufacture distance?

Why can’t I include mechanical, electrical and plumbing components in this credit? What if I consistently include MEP materials in the calculations for all of the MR credits I’m attempting?

We are pursuing IEQc4.5 as an ID credit. Are we thus required to include the cost of furniture in MRc3–7?

What if different parts of a product are manufactured at different locations?

NC-2009 MRc5:Regional Materials

Finish Grading, Seeding and Plantings - applicable for MRc5?

In the Resource book on page 383 and 385 I see tables that have "plant material" as one of the regional items, but I am confused by the language in the actual credit - "BUILDING materials or products". Are seeds and plants really a building material? Do site items such as finish grading, seeding and plantings actually apply to this credit?

If they are specified as part of the builing project they would potentially be included. Into what CSI section do the materials you are thinking of fall?A park bench is not a "building material" but would included, for example.
